The Shining Source

That’s 94 sprites in total.

Or 752 frames.

Or 433,152 pixels.

Check them out here.

Next job on the list is NPC characters, and then the actual Shining Force.

The long task of ripping Shining Force 2 enemy sprites has finally started. There are about 100 different sprites to rip, although some are just  re-colours. There’s also about 30 NPC’s to grab as well.

Expect an update on this by the weekend ;)

This was a silly idea.

Shining Force Characters

That’s it. All of the Shining Force 1 sprites are now complete.

There’s no time to relax though, because now it’s time to start on the Shining Force 2 sprites.

Final Conflict Tilesets

A trio of Shining Force: Final Conflict tiles have been added to Shining Aid. There’s still quite a lot left to do, but we’re getting there.

Audio Files

Newts has prepared some jingles for use in your projects. There are four to download: "Waking Up", "Dead", "Saved" and "Promotion". They’re provided in Ogg Vorbis format, which can be converted to other formats using a tool such as Ogg Drop.

They’re all released under the creative commons attribution licence, so if you use them in your project please remember to say thanks with a link to TSS. I’m sure Newts would appreciate a link to his gaming blog too ;)

To compliment these files, a selection of Shining Force 3 sounds have been added to the sound section.

You can grab the jingles and sound effects from the audio section of Shining Aid.

That’s it…for now

And so ends another lame update. Be sure to join us in Ye Olde Blah, and check out the projects people are working on.

After many years of hard work, our good buddy Grom has finished “Shining Force : The Role Playing game”. I’ll let him tell you in his own words…

Well, its been a long time coming … 6 years in fact, but its done and ready for the world to see and try.

Below is a link to the Zip file containing 5 files ..

Yep, Peter has been working hard and has recently released  some more great screenshots in the forums. There’s another look at a previously shown town, and also a first look at the insides of the church.

I’m sure you’ll agree that things are progressing very nicely, and there’s certainly a nice Shining style to the graphics.

More screenshots are available in the official Dark Resurrection Screenshot Thread.
